Excitement Within the Blah

Plotnik's four-play week ended last night. Duck had had enough, so Plot met Hanky Girl at SF Playhouse to see an intense and excellent show called "Honey Brown Eyes" about the Bosnian Civil War. You get up to walk out of a show like this and realize that so much of what we whine about in this country would be considered the best of all possible worlds on most of the rest of the planet.

Plotnik has to say Jennifer Stuckert, who plays Alma, not only has those honey brown eyes but one of those Jean Simmons faces at which you never tire of staring. Plotnik thinks that every once in awhile God just gets bored creating blah people who look like the rest of us and decides to turn out a really, really beautiful one, just to break up the routine.

Speaking of the routine: baseball is so boring when your team isn't playing. Plot knows there were some good games during this thankfully finished 2011 World Series, but neither team was really all that good. They both played badly, and one outlasted the other. Blah people playing a blah game in the mid blah west.
